i got sick.

cory. this isn't what it looks like...

haha, i lied. it totally is what it looks like!

{my two amazing sisters.}

my youngest cousin, quinn.
giving baby kisses to his super cute mom sherrie.
LOvE them both.

all and all i had a fun trip. it was great to see my family again, along with bundles of cousins, aunts, and uncles. i really do have a great family, like really great. i could spend forever hanging around and talking with them... one day we will. i did get sick tho. no too bad, just bad enough to loose my voice and pretty much sound like a MAN.
we decided to bail on disneyland (80,000+ people - NO THANK YOU!) and hit up legoland instead, it was like two minutes from our hotel. it was so cute and so fun, the little cousins loved it.
i am now in utah. tomorrow i will fly back to alaska and finally be able to see cory again. i missed him so much. somehow he got sick too even though we were more than 3000 miles away from each other. luckily i get to go home to a sick husband. i say luckily because i love taking care of cory when he is sick. i don't know why i like it so much, i just do.
my family is still in california so i spent the night with my grandparents. we talked for hours. they always make me feel so good about what cory and i are doing in life, especially alaska. after talking with them i realized more than ever that cory and i really are pretty much on a mission together in bethel. i feel so good about my life right now. i wish i could bottle this feeling up and save it for a bad day. i am just really grateful that i am ME. my family, my husband, my friends, my goals, my life in alaska... it might not work for everyone, but it sure as heck works for me.
well i am off to bed. i need to get up early to catch my flight. next time i will be back in utah it will be to finally buy our house... YAY!!
i can't wait. december couldn't come sooner.
